Dear
Sir/Madam,
I
write to protest at the U.N's lack of action in occupied
Palestine, and to demand the immediate dispatch of
an International Peace-keeping Force to the region.
The
IDF's disgraceful and unacceptable behavior culminated
in the death yesterday of Iain Hook, from Felixstowe,
England, and the wounding of Caoimhe Butterley, from
Ireland, in Jenin Refugee Camp.
Mr
Hook [RIP] was a Senior Manager of UNWRA, and Ms Butterly
is an "International" - one of those brave
volunteers, from many different countries, including
Israel - who risk life and limb in going to Palestine
to do what a UN Peace-keeping Force should be doing
- alleviating the suffering of Palestinians.
Since
September 2000: 2,032 Palestinians have been killed,
and around 20,000 Palestinians injured. A very high
percentage has been children.
In
addition, a further 500 Palestinians, including children,
have died due to IDF blocking of medical access.
Surely
the time has come for the UN to fulfill its obligations
by dispatching an International Peace-keeping Force
to the region forthwith.
